I have never stayed anywhere quite like Riad Dar Anika. To be fair I didn't even know what a Riad was! The welcome we received was warm and sincere. The hussle and bussle of the Medina outside was exciting and a bit crazy, then once behind the huge beautiful doors of Riad Dar Anika was tranquility, calm and smells that were a feast for the sences. Our room was large and beautifully done, traditional yet contemporary, comforatable, and So peaceful. We relaxed on the roof terrace on comfy sun loungers. In the evenings we chilled by the log fire and we ate the most amazing food! Lamb Tagine washed down was lashings of fantastic Moroccian wine which was suprisingly, very nice indead. We explored Marrakech, the YSL gardens and the markets. The highlight was the Riad. I went with my cousin who had made all the arrangements. We have both travelled fairly extensively but have NEVER known hospitality like that of Riad Dar Anika. The staff could not do enough for us, to make us comfortable and welcome, talk about go the extra mile!!! I can't wait to go back and wouldn't even consider staying anywhere else! As for value for money, its fantastic value. I can't wait to recommend to family and friends, they will love it. I can't think of a single negative. A fancy hotel is a fancy hotel. You could be anywhere in the world they are all much of a muchness. A Riad has a completely differant ambiance. Its So relaxed, friendly, and the sense of calm is to be relished and soaked up. The manager and his team of wonderful staff have something special going on at their beautiful Riad Dar Anika. It was magical, and guess what......... I Highly recommend it!

This boutique hotel is simply superb! I have visited a number of 5* hotels over the years but none top this one, as hospitality is second to none and the service is out of this world. After learning that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary, we got upgraded to a suite and a large bouquet of roses was delivered to us!
The room was very clean, well appointed with everything you would need. It was also recently refurbished with great attention to detail. Everything was hand crafted locally apart from the laptop with the free internet access.


The food was fantastic. We expected to pay much more than we did for food and beverage, but were pleasantly surprised by how reasonably priced everything was.


The two hour massage, hammam and scrub is a truly soothing experience. Well worth it.


We have told all our friends and family about Dar Anika and thinking of coming back and booking the entire Riad for all of us to enjoy!

See you soon Dar Anika!

My adult daughter and I spent a lovely week here and loved it. The superb breakfasts on the roof and one night we enjoyed a delicious evening meal in the Berber tent on the roof; all very luxurious. Our room, normally a double was easily split into two singles and we had a very comfortable stay, always given the lovely mint tea, stuffed with mint leaves in a glass whenever we wanted it. It is a great place to relax in the heat of the day and so near all the places of interest you would want to visit, including a great restaurant called Tagine.

Samir arranged for us a driver to take us to the coast for the day and a guide to the souks for another half day. When we travelled to the Atlas mountains for a day he even checked up part way through the day with our driver to ensure we were OK and enjoying it! Couldn't have asked for more. Highly recommend staying in this lovely small riad whilst in Marrakech.

My wife and I spent a weekend at the Dar Anika regarding a birthday arranged by the travel agency " Travel and Learn". The hotel, the manger, the staff and the food was top of the range. You could fell a precence of warm hospitality all the time. Some hotels can feel like a well designed concept. Riad Dar Anika was all genuine and as a guest we felt like a part of warm famlily.
